“It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.” A catchy Taylor Swift line or a harrowing realization that can keep you up at night? Both — how fun!
In all seriousness, though, being self-aware is a good thing. Taking a long hard look in the mirror may not always be comfortable, but doing so comes with a host of benefits in numerous areas of your life.
For her book Insight, organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich looked at hundreds of studies on self-awareness. She defines the concept as “the ability to see ourselves clearly — to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world around us.”
At this point, you might be wondering how on Earth you’d know you’re not self-aware if you’re indeed not self-aware. Don’t panic about being potentially oblivious, though: Apparently, most of us are. Only about 10%-15% of people possess true self-awareness, according to Eurich’s research.
Even if you believe you are among that small percentage, there’s likely still room to improve. Sometimes, people are quite attuned to or focused on certain aspects of their behavior, only to discover there are elements they haven’t been cognizant of at all.
